Giant Jamboree/Volunteers

VOLUNTEER

We are looking for volunteers to help us make the 2018 Giant Jamboree amazing!

The iGEM 2018 Giant Jamboree will be from Thursday October 24 to Sunday October 28 in the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, and we're looking for volunteers to help with the event!

Help us ensure that every iGEM participant has an amazing experience! In addition to the Jamboree days, we are also looking for help setting up on Wednesday October 23.

Applications are currently closed.

Thank you for your interest!

We're asking that volunteers commit to at least 2 days since this is a multi-day event. Please keep in mind that your first priority as volunteer is to your designated area and that this may mean that you will miss out on some/all presentations, but we will do our best to make sure you have free time depending on the number of volunteers. Unfortunately iGEM HQ cannot provide financial aid or accommodations for volunteers but food will be provided throughout the event, and volunteers will receive complimentary admission for the days they volunteer.

Please note: This opportunity is closed to current iGEM team members and parents of current team members.
